Pros

Great CEO. He's a compassionate leader and a true idea guy. I had the opportunity to work directly with him often even though I was just a Director. I liked their mentorship program both when I was a mentee and later when I became a mentor for new hires. Work-life balance is amazing here. Very flexible on taking personal time and they have a good hybrid flex schedule. The company has very strong leaders over the departments. The execs don't feel siloed from the rest of the business like I've seen at previous companies. Competitive salary -- I never felt underpaid or taken for granted.

Cons

Tough few years for the industry as a whole after the pandemic. Took them a while to rebound, which caused some stress on the business.

Pros

Vari has a beautiful office and very small but appreciated perks and cultural events.

Cons

This company went through 5 years of pain, and every employee that has been part of it shows their battle scars. They let go of a vast number of very qualified and talented team members through the past few years and made do with a skeleton crew, and the results show. They lied about why a lot of the senior leadership left. They are no longer the high growth startup, and any chance of recapturing growth died in the hands of the CEO who couldn't be bothered to dive deeper into teams with obviously weak leaders. Competitors have eaten their lunch, poached their talent, and nearly every alumni of Vari is thriving once they left or were mercifully let go. This is not a sinking ship, this is a rowboat.
